The brown ash tree was selected and harvested from the North Maine woods. Each tree is stripped of the bark and the
trunk is pounded until the growth rings can be pulled off in long splints.
I take the splints and split, scrape and gauge them into weavers, standards and points, used to make my baskets .
The sweetgrass is picked blade by blade along the coast of Maine. I soak the dried grass and finely braid three strands
together locking in other strands to achieve the ‘continuous’ braid.
These baskets symbolizes my desire to keep native traditions and culture alive.
These unique hand made baskets are signed and dated.
Your support in helping keep the traditions and culture of Maine Native tribes alive and thriving is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your interest in Maine Indian Basketry.

Are you looking for a unique hand made gift for a loved one or a
special basket for your collection?
Most of my baskets have stories and themes to express your
thoughts of love and honor to yourself and your loved ones.
Each basket is smudged and signed and dated.
Most of them have items in the basket that goes along with the
theme. Like a heart rock and ash flower in the sweetheart
basket, prayer braid and smudger in the prayer basket. The
Honor Basket is right full of things. See the story to read about
this unique basket that came from a dream I had. Or how about a
Prayers for Humanity acorn basket.
